The Big Four
by Agatha Christie
When Captain Hastings returns from Argentina to surprise Hercule Poirot, he finds the detective preparing to depart for South America on a lucrative mission. Their reunion is interrupted by a delirious, mud-caked man who stumbles into the flat, scrawls the number four repeatedly, and speaks of a global criminal conspiracy before collapsing. After realizing they were nearly lured away by a clever trap, Poirot and Hastings must face the 'Big Four'—an international syndicate led by a Chinese mastermind, an American millionaire, and a mysterious Frenchwoman.
